    Did anyone ever watch Tru Calling?

    I use to watch Tru Calling, and I guess was even an avid fan, since I didn't miss an episode, but what I want to know is why IMO, was such a great show axed after just 2 and 1/2 season.....what's the deal with Fox? First it was Buffy, then Angel......what next?? grumble...

    I watched Tru Calling and thought it was great. Don't get me started on prematurely cancelled tv shows, I'm still gutted about Dead Like Me...it makes me so angry.

      Fox just wants lowest common denominator tv...a la Cops and various forms of reality degradation...

      I like TC after they introduced Priestly's character. Previous to that, it had been fairly repetative, but the addition of a foil specific to her perked things up for me. Wish it would have continued.
      Thanks!

        And it was just getting good too, what with Priestly/Jack and Tru's father almost getting caught by Harrison (well they did but the day rewinded), and a whole lot of things were introduced on that last ever episode. I so hope another network picks it up....

          To quote Family Guy


          Peter: Everybody, I got bad news: We've been cancelled
          Lois: Oh no! Peter, how can they do that?
          Peter: Well, unfortunately Lois, there's just no more room on the schedule. We've just got to accept the fact that Fox has to make room for terrific shows like:


          Dark Angel
          Titus
          Undeclared
          Action
          That 80's Show
          Wonderfalls
          Fast Lane
          Andy Richter Controls the Universe
          Skin
          Girl's Club
          Cracking Up
          The Pits
          Firefly (whoo hoo!)
          Get Real
          Freaky Links
          Wanda at Large
          Costello
          The Lone Gunmen
          A Minute with Stan Hooper
          Normal, Ohio
          Pasadena
          Harsh Realm
          Keen Eddie
          The Street
          American Embassy
          Cedric the Entertainer
          The Tick
          Louis
          and Greg the Bunny

          Lois: Is there no hope?
          Peter: Well, I suppose if ALL THOSE SHOWS go down the tube, we might have a shot...

          Not that all of those were quality, but quite a few IMHO were...Firefly (d'uh), John Doe, Dark Angel, Keen Eddie, Harsh Realm, Wonderfalls and now...add Tru Calling to that list.

          (pssst: Did you get to see the unaired 6th and final ep of Tru?)

          "Do you know what the chain of command is here? It's the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who's in ruttin' command."

                That's why I'm hoping another Network picks it up......and will be hoping until someone does....never give up, ever!

                    That what I thought to, unless bugchicklv has another episode in mind. That's why i went into shock if this wasn't the last episode!

                      No, I meant that one (it wasn't aired here). I was gonna spread some Tru-Love on where/how to get it if ya hadn't seen it.

                        Thanks for the offer All I can do now is just wait for it on DVD, and hope I can afford to buy it. I've got a few boxsets DVDs I've got to buy and TC has just been added to my list!!! Oh, how I wish I can win the Lottery!!

                              Dead Like me was cancelled? I can't believe, I loved that show, and Tru Calling was amazing! It always that the shows I like watching the most prematurely are dropped, if it weren't for Scifi, I don't know how I would ever be able to watch, four great seasons of anything.

                              Dead Like Me was cancelled, I still can't believe it!!
